Duan Qingxi sighed deeply. Her brother was good in every way, but once it came to her lifelong affairs, he would start bombarding her until she gave up her obsession with a certain man.
Come to think of it, it was actually the same when she was with He Yun. Even if He Yun and Zuo Xinya didn't get together, they would be forced to break up by her brother sooner or later.
After Duan Qingxi stopped talking, Duan Sijin stopped talking with satisfaction.
But Su Yuecheng looked at it with a complicated expression. He remembered... Duan Qingxi was not Duan Sijin's biological sister, but the second lady Duan Shishi was.
Why is Duan Sijin not close to Duan Shishi, but has such a good relationship with Duan Qingxi?
When he heard him say that he wanted to introduce Duan Qingxi to him, he thought Duan Sijin was just doing him a favor, but now it seems... he really loves this sister.
No one knew how Duan Hong knew that Duan Qingxi went to Kechaju. As soon as they came back, Duan Hong called them to the living room.
After the two of them arrived, they saw Duan Hong sitting on the main seat with a gloomy expression.
"father."
Duan Sijin was the first to shout, and then said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Duan Hong looked at him and slammed the table. "You know it's late?! Let me ask you, why did you bring Xi'er to a place like Ke Cha Ju?!"
Duan Sijin frowned. Duan Qingxi was a woman dressed as a man. If he hadn't seen her wearing men's clothes with his own eyes, he might not have recognized her. Logically, it would be even less likely for others to recognize Duan Qingxi's identity.
In the entire general's mansion, no one else knew that Duan Qingxi went to Ke Cha Ju with him, so how did Duan Hong know about it?
"Dad, who told you that?"
"Don't worry about who told me this! But you did do something wrong. I'll punish you by having you face the wall in the ancestral hall for one night and then be grounded for a month!"
"Dad!" Duan Qingxi was now dissatisfied. "Going to Ke Cha Ju was my idea. It has nothing to do with Big Brother! Anyway, you can't punish me! If you punish Big Brother, I will go with him to be punished. Let everyone know that you, a general, bullied me, a princess of the first rank!"
"you……"
Duan Hong was furious, but he could only persuade her earnestly: "Xi'er, as a girl, if you go to a place like that, what if someone finds out your identity? Do you know how much damage it will do to your reputation? Daddy is doing this for your own good!"
Duan Qingxi pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "But this is for my own good. Just teach me a lesson. I will try not to do it again next time, right? Why punish Big Brother? I don't care! You can't punish him!"
"you……"
Duan Sijin felt warm in his heart. It was just a punishment of facing the wall in the ancestral hall for one night and being confined to his house for a month. To him, this punishment was not a punishment at all.
But when he saw Duan Qingxi pleading for him, he still felt very happy.
"Xi'er, it's okay, big brother, it's just..."
"It's okay for you, but it's for me! Big brother took me to Ke Cha Ju for my own good. Even if we have to be punished for doing something wrong, we should both be punished together. If Dad wants to punish Big brother, Xi'er must follow!"
Duan Hong looked at them and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
It is okay to punish Duan Sijin, but it is absolutely unacceptable to punish Duan Qingxi.
Not to mention that she is a first-rank princess and the future fifth princess, but because she is his daughter and he owed her so much in the past, Duan Hong could not give this order.
In the end, he could only sigh and let them go back.
Duan Qingxi was afraid that Duan Hong would go back on his word, so he pulled Duan Sijin and ran away, leaving Duan Hong in a state of confusion.
At this moment, Duan Shishi suddenly walked out from somewhere.
Looking at the direction where Duan Qingxi and Duan Sijin left, she clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, "Daddy, this is too much for my sister! And my brother too, how dare the two of them disobey Daddy like this, it's really..."
